Hello 'Beautiful'

Hello and Welcome to today's post.
It's my turn to Host for our Trend Week at
Just Us Girls
I chose Bleach as it is a technique I haven't tried before
and I know it has been around for an age. 

I'm afraid my card didn't photograph too well.
I think the metallic shimmer made it tricky.
The beautiful Lily Stamp and Sentiment
I used here are from STAMPlorations
 Smile and Hello Coffee
I heat embossed my flower with
Lindy's Pumpkin Fiesta
and then worked on bleaching.
When that was dry I added colour with
some metallic paints. This was cut from
a Spellbinder die with SU Groovy Guava
card stock - same as my base.
I popped that onto some metallic paper
attaching some ribbon to the side.
Sentiment was inked with
SU Calypso Coral. Finished with pearls.

Hope you can pop over and see what our
November Guest Claire and my Team Mates
created for your pleasure and get time
to get out some bleach from the laundry
and play with us this week.
Look forward to seeing you in our Gallery.

Thanks for dropping in and leaving
such kind comments.

A Very Special 'THANK YOU'

Hello and Welcome to a Special Post.

Each year I make a card with Poppies 

for Remembrance Day in Australia.

This post is a few days early but thought it

perfect for our Anything Goes with Dies at

Happy Little Stampers

I kept it CAS using a background

done with predominately Red Alcohol Inks on Yupo Paper.

I cut the Perky Poppy from my Memory Box Die

and attached to the background.

Added a frame and a simple Thank You

sentiment in gold.

Pop over and see more die cuts from my Team Mates

and come join us this month.

Time to Give 'Thanks'

November has come around and it is time for our 

New CUTplorations Challenge over at

STAMPlorations.

Hello and Welcome to today's Post.

I started my card by smooching a background with

Lindy's Magical's in Rose Pink then stenciled

with ARTplorations Droplets with clear embossing powder.

My background for the floral stamp was sponged with

Tim's Abandoned Coral, Carved Pumpkin,

Fired Brick and Ripe Persimmon

I then got out my Bloom Sketches and randomly

stamped again using  Ripe Persimmons in a shadow effect.

I added glossy accents to the centre of the main flower

 and while wet sprinkled with

 Stampendous Aged Copper Embossong Enamel

but did not melt it.

Added a touch of Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the other two flowers.

I added a small frame in a lighter pink then popped

to my droplet background and finally to 

SU Groovy Guava card base.

Finished with my Thanks sentiment from 

STAMPlorations Boxed-Blooms-and-Bold-Sentiments
cut from  Fluttery-Dies

and some scattered pearls.

Pop on over and see what my Team Mates have made

for your pleasure and come join us in our Gallery.
